== WM0.TXZ ==

The following information applies specifically to WM0.TXZ, it is reasonable to assume that the rest of the TXZ files use a similar format, where WM2.TXZ and WM3.TXZ presumably holds equivalent data for the underwater and snowfield maps respectively.

=== Compression ===

TXZ files are compressed using standard LZS compression where the first 4 bytes contain the size of the compressed data.

=== TXZ archive format ===

Uncompressed TXZ files are divided into several different sections, to extract the different sections a header must be parsed at the beginning of the file. The first 4 bytes will tell you how many sections there are. After that follows 4 * <number of sections> bytes containing offsets into the file for each section. A section can be assumed to end where the next section begins and the last section runs until the end of the file.

== Sections ==

=== WM0.TXZ, section 0 ===

Unknown format, might be a model? Looks like there's atleast one or two textures in there.

=== WM0.TXZ, section 1 ===

Texture data for direct VRAM upload, same format as section 2 but contains only a single block.

=== WM0.TXZ, section 2 ===

Texture data for the worldmap mesh (see .MAP format), starts with a table of 512 palette/texture identifiers in a format compatible with the PSX GPU, see http://psx.rules.org/gpu.txt for more information.

The following structure can be used to read this data:

struct wm_texture
{
unsigned int clutx:6;
unsigned int cluty:10;
unsigned int tx:4;
unsigned int ty:1;
unsigned int abr:2;
unsigned int tp:2;
unsigned int reserved:7;
};

After this table follows a number of blocks intended for direct VRAM upload, each block has the following structure:

{| border="1" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" style="border: 1px solid black; border-collapse: collapse; text-align:center"
|+ VRAM Block
|-
! style="background:rgb(204,204,204)" align="center" | size
! style="background:rgb(204,204,204)" align="center" | description
|-
| 4 bytes
| Size of this block (including header)
|-
| 2 bytes
| Destination X coordinate
|-
| 2 bytes
| Destination Y coordinate
|-
| 2 bytes
| Width
|-
| 2 bytes
| Height
|-
| Width * Height * 2 bytes
| Pixel data
|}

A new block can be assumed to start where the previous one ends until the end of this section is reached.

=== WM0.TXZ, section 3 ===

Unknown format, contains more blocks of VRAM data.

=== WM0.TXZ, section 4 ===

Contains the script for the overworld map, a copy of the data in wm0.ev?

=== WM0.TXZ, section 5-11 ===

These sections contain songs in standard AKAO format. Presumably the different overworld background themes are in there, don't know what else?
